In word processing and digital typesetting, a non-breaking space (' '), also called no-break space, non-breakable space (NBSP), hard space, or fixed space,[note 1] is a space character that prevents an automatic line break at its position. In some formats, including HTML, it also prevents consecutive whitespace characters from collapsing into a single space.
In HTML, the common non-breaking space, which is the same width as the ordinary space character, is encoded as
or   . In Unicode, it is encoded as U+00A0 .
Non-breaking space characters with other widths also exist.
Uses and variations[edit]
Despite having layout and uses similar to those of whitespace, it differs in contextual behavior.[1][2]
Non-breaking behavior[edit]
Text-processing software typically assumes that an automatic line break may be inserted anywhere a space character occurs; a non-breaking space prevents this from happening (provided the software recognizes the character). For example, if the text '100 km' will not quite fit at the end of a line, the software may insert a line break between '100' and 'km'. An editor who finds this behaviour undesirable may choose to use a non-breaking space between '100' and 'km'. This guarantees that the text '100 km' will not be broken: if it does not fit at the end of a line, it is moved in its entirety to the next line.
Non-collapsing behavior[edit]
A second common application of non-breaking spaces is in plain text file formats such as SGML, HTML, TeX and LaTeX, whose rendering engines are programmed to treat sequences of whitespace characters (space, newline, tab, form feed, etc.) as if they were a single character (but this behavior can be overridden). Such 'collapsing' of whitespace allows the author to neatly arrange the source text using line breaks, indentation and other forms of spacing without affecting the final typeset result.[3][4]
In contrast, non-breaking spaces are not merged with neighboring whitespace characters when displayed, and can therefore be used by an author to simply insert additional visible space in the resulting output without using spans styled with peculiar values of the CSS âwhite-spaceâ property. Conversely, indiscriminate use (see the recommended use in style guides), in addition to a normal space, gives extraneous space in the output.
Width variation[edit]
Other non-breaking variants, defined in Unicode:
Encodings[edit]
Unicode defines several other non-break space characters. See #Width variation. Encoding remarks:
Keyboard entry methods[edit]Espace Insecable Open Office Hours
It is rare for national or international standards on keyboard layouts to define an input method for the non-breaking space. An exception is the Finnish multilingual keyboard, accepted as the national standard SFS 5966 in 2008. According to the SFS setting, the non-breaking space can be entered with the key combination AltGr + Space.[10]
Typically, authors of keyboard drivers and application programs (e.g., word processors) have devised their own keyboard shortcuts for the non-breaking space. For example:
Apart from this, applications and environments often have methods of entering unicode entities directly via their code point, e.g. via the Alt Numpad input method. (Non-breaking space has code point 255 decimal (FF hex) in codepage 437 and codepage 850, and code point 160 decimal (A0 hex) in codepage 1252.)

Is there something about a non-breaking space or the ampersand that JavaScript doesn't like?

4 Answers is a HTML entity. When doing .text() , all HTML entities are decoded to their character values.
Instead of comparing using the entity, compare using the actual raw character:
Or you can also create the character from the character code manually it in its Javascript escaped form:

Remember that
.text() strips out markup, thus I don't believe you're going to find in a non-markup result.
Made in to an answer..
Shows an alert, as the ASCII equivalent of the markup is returned instead.

That entity is converted to the char it represents when the browser renders the page. JS (jQuery) reads the rendered page, thus it will not encounter such a text sequence. The only way it could encounter such a thing is if you're double encoding entities.

The jQuery docs for
text() says
Due to variations in the HTML parsers in different browsers, the text returned may vary in newlines and other white space.
I'd use Jacob MattisonJacob Mattison
$td.html() instead.
